[UW Photo A038] : A Sea Slug (nudibranch)


(Location: Jorgeys Patch, Great Barrier Reef, QLD, Australia)

Sea slugs are simply explained as saltwater snails without a shell (or with an internal shell). There are no many researches done about them. Anyway, they should be playing a significant role in the ecosystem of a coral reef.

This bright yellow colored slug (Notodoris minor) was captured in Great Barrier Reef.
